Spaces of Security
An ethnographic investigation into the dynamics between space and security in countries around the world It is difficult to imagine two contexts as different as a soccer stadium and a panic room. Yet, they both demonstrate dynamics of the interplay between security and space. This book focuses on the infrastructures of security, considering locations as varied as public entertainment venues to border walls to blast-proof bedrooms. Around the world, experts, organizations, and governments are managing societies in the name of security, while scholars and commentators are writing about surveillance, state violence, and new technologies. Yet in spite of the growing emphasis on security, few tru...
The Civil Sphere in Latin America
Illuminates hot button issues in contemporary Latin America from an intellectually radical perspective: a sociological theory of democracy as civil sphere.
Gun Control Policies in Latin America
This book analyses the crucial role that guns play in the dynamics of extreme violence engulfing Latin America and the policies that are being implemented to confront it. Gun control is surprisingly not a prominent issue in most countries of the region, but this situation is rapidly changing as proliferation and violence dramatically increase. The book adopts an extended version of John Kingdon's influential Multiple Streams Framework to explore how gun control enters political agendas and why some countries act to end gun violence and others do not. In this effort, the Brazilian Disarmament Statute and the Uruguayan Responsible Firearm Ownership Law serve as in-depth case studies that exhibit the region’s heterogeneity and put Kingdon’s policy theory to the test. Gun Control Policies in Latin America is an essential reading for anyone interested in Latin American security and public policies.
Illegal Markets, Violence, and Inequality
This book challenges the quasi-consensus that Latin American countries dominate global homicide rankings mainly due to the illegal nature of drug production and trafficking. Building on US scholarship that looks at the role of social exclusion and discriminatory policing in drug violence, the authors of this volume show that the association between illegality and violence cannot be divorced from the inequality that prevails in those countries. This book looks in detail at the functioning of drug markets in Recife, the largest metropolitan area in Brazil’s North-East and, over the last 25 years, the heart of the country’s most violent metropolitan area. Building on extensive interviews an...
Violence in the City of Women
Brazil's innovative all-female police stations, installed as part of the return to civilian rule in the 1980s, mark the country's first effort to police domestic violence against women. This work explores this phenomenon as a window onto the shifting relationship between violence and gendered power struggles in the city of Salvador da Bahia.
Violence in the City of Women
Brazil's innovative all-female police stations, installed as part of the return to civilian rule in the 1980s, mark the country's first effort to police domestic violence against women. Sarah J. Hautzinger's vividly detailed, accessibly written study explores this phenomenon as a window onto the shifting relationship between violence and gendered power struggles in the city of Salvador da Bahia. Hautzinger brings together distinct voices—unexpectedly macho policewomen, the battered women they are charged with defending, indomitable Bahian women who disdain female victims, and men who grapple with changing pressures related to masculinity and honor. What emerges is a view of Brazil's policing experiment as a pioneering, and potentially radical, response to demands of the women's movement to build feminism into the state in a society fundamentally shaped by gender.
Jurisdição constitucional e reformas penais em tempos de pandemia.11o Congresso Internacional de Ciências Criminais
A presente obra tem por objetivo apresentar os trabalhos que foram considerados destaques pelos coordenadores dos mais de 50 Grupos de Trabalhos apresentados no 11o Congresso Internacional de Ciências Criminais, reunindo pesquisadores de diversas regiões do país e do exterior e de variados vínculos disciplinares, para o debate de temas contemporâneos relacionados com o delito e os mecanismos de controle punitivo. Os trabalhos que deram origem ao livro foram apresentados no primeiro evento da série, ocorrido no formato 100% digital em razão do contexto pandêmico. A incerteza de tal contexto pode ser observada nos capítulos que compõem a obra, os quais, além do esforço em realizar diagnósticos do cenário, buscam apontar possíveis caminhos, desde o compromisso com a democracia até os direitos e as garantias fundamentais. Além disso, o livro conta com demais contribuições acerca de temas relevantes e atuais das ciências criminais.
Curso de Sociologia Jurídica
Como parte das Ciências Sociais, a Sociologia Jurídica deve cumprir o papel de formar alunos e operadores do Direito com uma consciência crítica, capaz de perceber, não só os grandes temas teóricos da disciplina, mas também visualizar os problemas do mundo jurídico que afetam o nosso país. Torna-se, portanto, essencial absorver o conteúdo das reflexões de eminentes autores expostos nos diversos capítulos, bem como compreender de que forma a Sociologia Jurídica é capaz de traduzir os dilemas e dificuldades da relação entre o Direito e a Sociedade, principalmente, em nosso caso, em nosso país. Afinal, como bem afirmam os Professores Lier Ferreira e Vladimyr Lombardo, "Se o Di...
